Psalms 3

1 Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.

1Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

2Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.)

2Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. [Selah

3But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.

3But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory, and the lifter up of my head.

4I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.)

4I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. [Selah

5I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.

5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.

6I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.

6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.

7Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.

7Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

8Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah.)

8Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. [Selah
